Voyiadjis. Please refer to the attachment for details.

Job Summary 

Serve as the Freudenberg Group's subject matter expert in generative AI and physics-informed machine learning for product, formulation, material/process discovery and design. Responsible to develop advanced data-driven and physics-based models and interface the two to guide and accelerate the development of products, materials and processes for sustainable solutions and new mobility applications. 

Postdoctoral positions are open in Qu’s group at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Those having (about to get) a PhD degree in the areas of solid/fluid mechanics, fluid-structure dynamics, smart material engineering, metamaterials are welcome to apply.

The James Watt School of Engineering is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to/make a leading contribution to a large international EPSRC funded project looking at the physics and mechanics of triboelectric nanogenerators (or TENGs).  This position will focus on the mechanics and tribology of TENGs and will involve both experimental & modelling work. Of particular interest is modelling and experimental analysis aimed at understanding, predicting and optimising the contact area and charge transfer at triboelectric interfaces.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the State University of New York at Binghamton invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level beginning in Fall 2024. The department is interested in applying fundamental engineering principles in health applications. Areas of interest include but are not limited to

We have an opening for PhD student at University of Massachusetts, Lowell, Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. The focus of the research is 

(a) to develop analyltical and computational tools to model the wave interaction and scattering at the interfaces between micro-structured media and homogeneous domain, 

(b) to evalulate the proposed models experimentally using additively (or otherwised) manufacutres specimens, and

Understanding how ice fractures has fundamental importance in arctic marine technology and geophysics. The fracture processes of interest include fragmentation of sea ice against polar ships, ice sheets broken by ocean waves, leads forming in sea ice, and formation of crevasses in glaciers. The importance of ice fracture research is enhanced by global warming, which is both increasing the fragmentation and changing the mechanical properties of ice. Warm ice is different that cold ice.

This project is framed within the MSCA EarthSafe Doctoral Network.

 We need candidates with a strong background in Numerical Methods and Continuum Mechanics.

Thermo-chemical-mechanical interactions of fluid phases and solid rocks control magmatic and hydrothermal processes of tectonic, biological and economic significance. However, our capacity to model these processes and the non-linear feedbacks in the system that ultimately control the formation mineral deposits is still rudimentary. 

Brief. One full-time PhD position on "Composite sandwich panels with auxetic cores" is available (AuxeticsLab). The theme can be shaped around numerical modelling and/or machine learning.

Minimum Requirements. High GPA is mandatory and a track record of high quality relevant publications is preferred. For immediate application, a valid English test score is mandatory. 

Critical note. Studnets from sanctioned countries cannot apply.

Two fully funded PhD positions are available as early as Spring, 2024 in Dr. Ning Zhang’s research group at the Baylor University. The research work will focus on the mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties of structural and multifunctional materials.

The research topics include:

(1)   Polymer composites;

Two postdoctoral positions are available in the Theoretical & Applied Geomechanics research group at the University of British Columbia. Both positions offer a two-year appointment with the possibility of a contract extension. Successful candidates will benefit from exposure to a dynamic international research environment and opportunities for various areas of professional development.
